CrackedMoon_FromMovie_TheTimeMachineSo did NASA ask you (or anybody else out there) if it was ok to crash something into the moon? Doesn’t that seem like a bad idea? To crash something on purpose… not just once, but twice?  What if they had broken the moon? Split it in half? Then what? Can’t put it back together. What if they had changed its orbit and sent it off into space and we were moonless? Then there would be no more surfing (not that I surf).

And while we are on the subject… Did they ever ask anyone if it was ok to create the 2nd brightest object in the night sky by adding all of those solar panels to the International Space Station (ISS)? Did they ever think how it might impact the sociology of the earth by knocking Venus to #3? Maybe I don’t want some marvel of modern science brighter than everything else floating over my house. Ever think of that Mr. Griffin or Mr. Bolden? (ok maybe I think its cool)

Well NASA lucked out this time. The moon didn’t crack or have it’s orbit changed, or float away (not yet anyway-could be awhile before we know for sure). And I guess they found water or something useful like that.

You can check it out on the LCROSS NASA mission on their website or on Fox News
Or get the cool NASA iPhone app here (free).
